What is 2/1 Divided by 98?
Methods
Breaking down the problem:
First, let’s break down each piece of the problem. We have the fraction, 2/1, which is also the dividend, and the whole number, or the divisor, which is 98:
Numerator of the dividend: 2
Denominator of the dividend: 1
Whole number and divisor: 98
So, what is 2/1 Divided by 98? Let’s work through the problem and find the answer in both fraction and decimal forms.
What is 2/1 Divided by 98, Step-by-step
First let’s set up the problem:
2
1
÷
98
\frac{2}{1} ÷ 98
1 2 ÷ 98
Step 1:
The first step of this solution is to multiple the denominator of the dividend, 1, by the whole number 98:
1 x 98 = 98
Step 2:
The result of this multiplication will now become the denominator of the answer. The answer to the problem in fraction form can now be seen:
98/2 = 49/1
A fraction that has 1 as its denominator is an improper fraction. So, we should simplify this to just the numerator. Since the numerator is a whole number, there is no reason to write the answer in decimal form.
So,
2 divided by 1/98 =
49
